Additional Notes

  • The Austin Maestro automatic transmission fluid capacity is 2.25 liters across all listed configurations, which is consistent with a service fill figure rather than a full overhaul or dry fill quantity.
  • The Maestro 1.6 carries a fluid change interval of 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning the interval applies to standard driving rather than demanding or high-stress operating environments.
  • The 48-month time limit on the change interval means the fluid is due for replacement at whichever threshold arrives first, whether the distance or the four-year mark.
  • The Maestro 1.6 spans three consecutive production sub-ranges from 1984-1990, and the automatic transmission fluid capacity and change interval remain identical at 2.25 liters and 40,000 km / 48 months throughout all three.
  • The Maestro Vanden Plas trim, covering 1984-1986, shares the same 2.25-liter capacity and 40,000 km / 48-month change interval as the standard 1.6 variants listed for the same period.
  • The uniformity of the 2.25-liter capacity across both the base 1.6 and the Vanden Plas trim suggests the same automatic transmission unit was fitted regardless of trim level during the 1984-1986 overlap period.
